How the eff it take 5 months for this to come out? Thats an embarrassingly long time between pissing dirty & it coming out. And I'm curious if this news breaking in the near future played into Teper falling out of the Helenius fight.

Well, that's disappointing.

David Price was on the comeback trail and working diligently to get his career back on track. Teper ruined all of that, severely hurting Price and ruining the confidence and momentum he was building.

This is precisely why steroid cheats have no place in the sport. The damage they can do to others is far too serious.

Them Europeans be cheatin

Like many here, I don't understand how a fighter fails a test yet, the said result simply goes unmentioned. I saw no press statement from Price's team or promoter.
There's clearly something I don't know about the system in play. Whatever it is, it can surely only be one of two things (that I can think of at least)- Either the story is wrong or the system is wrong. Whichever it may be, something isn't right and needs to be put on a platform for the good of boxing.

Boxing needs to somehow unify and get it's house in order over drug testing.
Now, were boxing to come together as a whole (is that even possible without a single overall body? I'm saying that's a can of worms which could take up a forum of it's own) it could be decided what supplement is acceptable and what is not, after all, even a good diet provides a significant benefit and therefore significant improvement in performance over a bad diet. But there must be accepted codes of conduct and an accepted process for those failing tests.
Even the case of Luis Ortiz can be highlighted, what he took and what kind of benefit he gained from it, I don't know, but he went through some kind of process, served the given punishment and returned. But as we can see, the process and punishment are not universally accepted among the fans and public. It is an issue which will have to be resolved sooner of later.

So Price is actually undefeated

Hi Di.ck diggler

Didn't take long.

Well, go to Kalle Sauerland's twitter (@SauerlandBros), he has given an interview. But he wont say to much because he wants to pursue legal action against the BDB (Bund Deutscher Berufsboxer; union of german pro boxers) which was sanctioning the event. The BDB is horrible, their boss is not competent in any way, their staff is not competent in any way, that's why in Germany are already three big sanctioning bodies for boxing, since there is no legal entitiy required to sanction unarmed combat, like in the US.

The story is true. The news surfaced by the Bayerischer Rundfunk (bavarian broadcasting; the regional public broadcasting union in bavaria)(http://www.br.de/themen/sport/inhalt...teper-100.html). The Munich prosecution office is investigating Teper because they found banned substances like clenbuterol, testosteron and growth hormone. The search was in April, 3 months before the fight against Price! Interestingly he trained in a sports facility whose head got in trouble for distributing PEDs in 2013.
I've read and heard additional news about Teper, there seem to be additional stories. It does seem that he failed a test before, which wasn't reported.

Some circumstances of Teper were quite shady and I heard some stuff about Teper (I'm living in Germany). He was on my list of fighters who I suspected to be on something.

It takes 5 months because the BDB sanctioned the event. They are horrible, even worse than the Texas Dept. for Licensing and Regulation.
Just a reminder:
They told the press that Marisz Wach and Sam Soliman that they pissed dirty before telling the boxers.


BTW, BDB president said to the media that the doping tests of Klitschko vs. Fury were negative. Seems like they can carry out the process really quick...

Turkish POS!
